Chapter 306: Accidental Encounter with Siblings
Translator: 549690339
Dylan Summers became even more frustrated when he heard this, “Nathaniel, I really can’t handle it all! Ever since the housekeeper left, the servants have been leaving one after another. Everything is in chaos. I’ve tried to hire a high- priced housekeeper, but no amount of money seems to entice anyone!”
An experienced housekeeper for a luxury mansion is an extremely rare commodity among the wealthy.
If there’s such a housekeeper at home, they can handle miscellaneous chores without the owner having to worry, and it even adds prestige for the owner.
Dylan Summers complained: “I have work to handle, plus all the messy things at home. The New Year is just around the corner, and there’s the New Year party to plan for. The old master’s death anniversary is also approaching. Everything needs preparation. Where can I find the time to take Laura to get treatment?”
Nathaniel asked, “Why can’t you find someone?”
Dylan Summers rubbed his temples, sighing: “There are rumors going around that the Summers Family house is haunted! It’s unbelievable that people actually believe this in this day and age. They even bring up the car accident Mrs. Summers had, sigh!”
Upon hearing this, Nathaniel fell silent for a while.
Over the years, the household has indeed had its share of misfortunes. It began with the second brother going to jail, followed by Mrs. Summers dying in a car accident, and then Suzanne Saunders accidentally falling into the river, Purple committing suicide, and even nearly drowning in their own artificial lake. Now, Laura has inexplicably gone mad…
As if all the bad luck had come to the Summers family, it’s no wonder the servants are all talking.
Even he himself sometimes wished he could go to the temple, burn some incense, and pray for good luck.
“The company matters are not that urgent lately. Maybe I should take Laura to Scenton,” Nathaniel considered carefully. “We must not let Laura’s illness be delayed due to the hectic household affairs. These kinds of mental illnesses, the earlier the treatment, the better. Once delayed, it could be hard to recover.”
Dylan Summers was overjoyed, “That would be perfect.”
Nathaniel felt a bit uncomfortable. Dylan just handed over his daughter to him without a word of courtesy. But on second thought, they are all family, and it really wasn’t fair to let Dylan handle all the troublesome affairs at home.
“I’ll go back to check my schedule and arrange a time.”
As Nathaniel was about to go back to his room, he was stopped again by Dylan Summers.
“Nathaniel,” Dylan said, “Our family needs a lady of the house. I am really struggling to juggle everything.”
Nathaniel turned back with a puzzled look, and asked: “Are you saying you want to…”
Dylan Summers waved his hand with a bitter smile: “Doi look like a man who would remarry at this age, only to become a laughingstock? I am talking about you, Nathaniel, you should start planning for yourself.”
On hearing this, Nathaniel looked troubled, “Brother, Suzanne just passed away half a year ago, I can’t really…”
“I understand!” Dylan interrupted, “I’m not saying you have to get married right now, just start considering it, right? As a person, we all have to look forward, don’t we?”
Nathaniel furrowed his brows unconsciously, “Brother…”
Dylan Summers asked again, “You mentioned last time that Jade Carlson is Mayor Carlson’s daughter. Is that true?”
Nathaniel didn’t want to continue the conversation any further.
After answering a few random answers, he went back to his room, only to receive a text message from Jade, asking him for a loan, which only added to his frustrations.
He initially didn’t want to bother, but remembering Jade’s sacrifices for him, he couldn’t help but feel soft.
Nathaniel replied to the message, agreeing to meet, put on his coat and went down to the garage. He got in his car and headed out to meet Jade.
As it so happened, he ran into Alexander Summers and Purple, who were also about to drive out.
Under the blue and white light in front of the garage, the siblings were bickering, with Purple swearing all the way.
“You’re definitely up to no good!… I’m not going, let go of me! Jerk… you filthy rogue…”
